You couldn't be more wrong.. The Wet Moon only happens in THE WINTER in the Northern Hemisphere..Between January and February.. This wet moon has been around for the past 3 years, even during the summer months.. I mean how fucking stupid do you think we are? And don't give me that "If the moon was fucked up, thousands if not millions of amateur astronomers would be saying something about it"

WELL, HERE THE FUCK WE ARE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Assholes..

"The terms wet moon and dry moon originate from Hawaiian mythology, where it was thought that the moon appeared as a bowl which would fill up with rain. The period where this is most common, January 20 - February 18, corresponds with Kaelo the Water Bearer in Hawaiian astrology and makes the moon known as the "dripping wet moon". As the year passes into summer, the crescent shape shifts, pouring out the water and causing the summer rains. After the "bowl" empties, it dries out and rights itself, creating the "dry moon"."

I mean, at least do research on your own assumptions before spreading bullshit and looking like a complete fucking fool.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27041131

Actually an angled moon can happen any time of year. Certain times of the year are more common for certain phases because the moon's orbit is angled with respect to the ecliptic. The observer's location and observation time also matter. The wet moon reference refers to an extreme amount of apparent rotation for a single phase.

It's getting to be that time of year, when people start noticing that the sun is "too far south". Amazing how many people didn't pay attention in primary school when we were supposed to learn these things about the sun, the moon and our solar system. Then suddenly they look at the moon and it's not like they thought it should be and think something is wrong, and if you dare to challenge them with facts and reason they call you a shill. Happens every year on this site.

Here asshole, explain why the same photo is reprinted in this book published in 1993 still showing the moon horizontal: [link to books.google.com] So let me get this straight, they took the original picture about 40 years ago, digitally altered it to make the moon look horizontal so that people like me could shove it in the face of people like you after the moon's orientation 'started changing', but this happened no sooner than 20 years ago? So the moon must have been doing this at least 20 years ago for them to want to alter the picture 20 years ago, right? So why then, genius, did you not notice this happening 20 fucking years ago! Oh right, because you weren't paying attention and you really don't know anything about astronomy and those of us who do know that it is NORMAL FIELD ROTATION!

Actually an angled moon can happen any time of year. Certain times of the year are more common for certain phases because the moon's orbit is angled with respect to the ecliptic.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27041131

Non educated guess? It is a FACT that the moon's orbit is angled with respect to the ecliptic. It is a fact that because of this the full moon is higher in the sky at some times of the year than others and it is a FACT that this applies to all phases at different times of the year. It is a FACT that field rotation exists. It is a FACT that it varies based on the observer's location and the time observed. It is a FACT that the amount of field rotation observed on the Moon varies based on it relation to the Sun and since its orbit goes from its furthest North to its furthest South every month (in different phases depending on the time of year) and the Sun's path varies over the course of a year then it is obvious that one could see apparent rotation at multiple times throughout the year depending on phase and location.

I noticed the moon looking extremely unusual last night rising in the east in the UK on a very clear night.

1. It was the yellowiest I've ever noticed it.

2. If the moon were a clockface, then between about 5.35 to 6.10 was in shadow, making the moon look like a wedge of sorts, there were no clouds obscuring the view to make it appear this way.

3. I don't think it's the moon that not right. More a case of the object(s) that is casting a shadow on the face of the moon. Some upcoming doom for thought.

Not long now!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26920547

The shadow on the Moon is from the Moon itself. It is it lit by the sun and the shadowed area is simply the unlit part of the moon. I guarantee that if you had continued to watch the Moon throughout its time in the sky you would have seen it appear to rotate clockwise until it was "upright" when highest in the sky and tilted to the right when setting. I guarantee also that when you saw it rising that someone on the opposite side of the world could have seen it setting at the same time and tilted the opposite direction. That is only possible with field rotation.

If you have to insist that you've won an Internet argument, you've probably lost badly. - Danth's Law

Those who think the Moon's orientation are wrong often fail to take into account that they are observing from the surface of a rotating sphere. Where you are on that sphere and which direction you are looking affects the orientation you see. (This is why all those calendars, etc, show the phases of the Moon with a vertical terminator; the makes of the calendars can't supply a calendar which shows a prper orientation for all possible obbservers). Take an extreme example: If you were observing from the North Pole, and the Moon was at First Quarter phase, the terminator would be vertical, and you would see the lit side of Moon on the right. An observer viewing the Moon at the same time from the South Pole would also see a vertical terminator, but the lit side would be on the left. An observer at the Equator would see a First Quarter moon rise with the lit side on the top, but would see it set with the lit side on the bottom.

Could I fix it?Was it waning from right to left instead of top to bottom?

I am stretched to the breaking point - please tell me if I could fix it.

I never wrote that you. I wrote it to the person who gave me negative karma without leaving a calling card because they are a coward! And because most of the energy of negativity in response to my posts from yesterday was in this thread I KNOW someone from this thread gave it to me. Only a person that felt guilty would speak up when calling them out since it wasn't quoted to anyone.

Furthermore we are expecting somewhat of a storm here in NJ, so yes, there are some clouds. Would you like some of those CHEMTRAILtardo pics that I take?

And yes, I do have a biting personality if you have to ask. But I don't hide it. If you show me respect I show it back but you seem to like me this way. Too bad as I really am a nice person. But you'll never see that by accusing me of things I didn't say...unless you did give me that one bad karma...not that it matters but it must to the board creators as they didn't want karma wars. Truth is I would like to the see the names of those who call me names so I can ask them why they would give bad karma to someone who never said a word to them. Kinda like if someone were to spit on me in the street and walk on by...it's childish and wrong and thanks to that I'm probably going to pretend it doesn't exist anymore so as not to derail threads trying to find out who the REAL ignorant people are.
